Okay Jaime, but just so you know, this DOESN'T count as a post for you :-p

I'm BAAAACK!!!!!!!

I am just about convinced that I need to pick up blogging again...... just about. At this point I'm not even sure why I would other then for my own record and journaling, because I'm sure from my lack of dedication and being so sporadic at it, no one is possibly following me right????
So, I have had a lot on my mind lately. Things ranging from organization, to scrubbing the shower, to getting a tan (I can't possibly go out in public this summer without one) :) to really wanting a pedicure (I've never had one... professionally, unless you consider me a professional), to what road trips I'm going to take this summer! Lot's on my mind.
I can use the excuse that I am a mother of 6 little bugars, but really that is no excuse for my lack of blogging, I can make time for whatever I need right, it's just a matter of making it!!! So i will try a little more, because I actually want to start another blog, but before I do that, I figured I needed to see if I could update this one daily or atleast every other day for a while before I go forward with that!!!
We got some new family pictures. We didn't get a ton of shots, due to bad timing, bad weather, bad children, etc. but we got a few good shots. This is the part that might make you mad, I don't know how to post them. My best friend took them, and sent me the web images, but for some reason I can't upload them. So I am going to leave that up to someone..... whom I will not mention. So if they don't show up magically in the next few days..... get mad at her, not me!!!! he he he

Appreciation!!

Thank you!!!!! Everything and Everyone who has had an influence in my life!!!! I love you, I'm greatful for you, and I can't imagine life without you!!!!!

AMAZING!!!

Being a mom, is a hard job.... isn't it? I have always loved it, since the day I became a mother. I was thinking the other day of all the comments I have gotten from people who think that I am crazy for having this many children (and I still can't say I'm finished!!!) and believe me..... a lot of them are not nice comments. But I have gotten used to it and I try to remember the people who are proud of me and give me great compliments (thanks...) Anyway what I was thinking about was that during the pregnancy I was thinking how can I do this? "My sixth child...... this is going to be wierd having another one", but I realized the other day that I can't imagine life without her already! She is soooooooo much a part of our family in such a short period of time! I am so blessed with the children that I have!!! And I can't imagine life without any of them! There is not one of them that I would send back!!!! I am blessed to have such a cute family! Life would not be the same without my kids!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!

Life has changed in a good way, and will never be the same, but we can't say anything but "we're sure glad she came!!!" Here's to being a mother of 6!!!! WOOOO HOOOOOO!

Holiday fun!`

Thanksgiving was great! We went to Dave's parents house and had the whole family together for the first time in a few years! I forgot my camera though, so I have no pictures of that.

The next fun thing that we did, was..... I got a wild hair and decided that it would be fun to take our kids on the polar express. There is a city not far from us that turns their train into the polar express for Christmas. So I called up my best friend to see if she and her family wanted to go with us. So off we went!!!!

I can't say it was the brightest idea..... it was crazy with all the kids, but they all had a blast! We got a cookie and hot chocolate and went to the North Pole and saw Santa!

Then we came back from the North Pole!

The kids really did have a fun time! I am completely convinced that it was not worth what we had to pay to do it!!! But it is a fun memory, unfortunately half my pictures didn't turn out for some reason! But I had a great time being able to go with my family and my best friend and her family (and no we didn't even get a picture with all of us together) it will be a fun thing to remember, but chances are,,,,,,,, it will probably not happen again, in our lifetime!!! But you never know!!!

I'm back from the dead!

O.k..... so I wanted to check up on some of the people on my blog list, to see what was happening in their lives, and I came to the rediculous realization that it has been almost 3 months since I lasted posted anything. I figured it was probably time to catch up.
*****So I will start with Halloween! I never in my life imagined I would be a mother of so many little monsters...... so Halloween is now my best holiday, because I can dress them up in exactly what they are.... MONSTERS!!!!! Just kidding, actually none of them were monsters for Halloween this year, but it was definately a nightmare (fitting for Halloween) to get them all ready for the town Halloween party! So here they are, my cowgirl, vampire, teenage mutant ninja turtle, my princess, cat and baby flower...... and most of you might be glad to see that the KING of POP came back from the dead for just one night!!!!!

Not bad for a "throw together a costume the night before!"



She did have her make-up done better then this, but she got mad and wiped it all off! You can tell by the look on her face she was not a happy vampire for Halloween!!!



I love this little man!!! He is so easy to please and is such a good brother to his sisters! He was my cute little turtle for the night!

And of course..... this little girl had to be a princess, what else is there??



My little cat had the sniffles! She was sick..... so Halloween wasn't fun for her. come to think of it, my vampire was sick too, that's why she wasn't happy in the picture!


And really????? Does it get any cuter then this. We had to top off our night with a little flower!!!!!

And last but not least!!!! MY MAN!!! What was I...... you may ask!!!! I was his biggest fan!!!!




That just about does it for the Halloween Update! I'll post again soon.... maybe again today since I have so much catching up to do!

Hey Everyone! I'm sorry I have had no desire to blog at all. But I know how much it drives me crazy to check all of your blogs and you don't update often, so I thought I better do something. Things are well, baby is great. I keep wondering when I will get my 6 weeks of recovery! I honestly haven't stopped since I got home from the hospital. I think I gave myself 2 days of rest, and then I was up doing laundry, cleaning, etc. But I feel o.k. so I guess I'll be o.k.???? I got all of my pictures from Ragan, my maternity pics, delivery pics, yes, she was in the delivery room! I'm not sure she liked it, but I got pictures so I don't care. And no, she didn't take pictures of the baby actually coming out! But I am going to post one of my favorite ones from the delivery room. I'm glad she thought of this picture. And I think it is funny, because it's fun to imagine what my husband might be thinking!

Am I a bad person?

So last night my aunt called me to congratulate me on having another baby! I had a lot of fun talking to her, it makes me realize how much I miss some of my family and how I need to stay in touch better, but get this, she found out I had my baby from my blog! Does that make me a horrible person? I was so bad with this baby, when I got pregnant I figured people would figure it out when they saw my tummy growing ever so big, and then I thought they would figure out that I had another child when they saw another one in my arms right? But now I am feeling a little guilty because I honestly did not call one person to tell them I had my baby. My mom texted most of her contacts the night I had her saying "it's a girl" but other than that I just thought mom and dad would take care of it! So I still don't know if everyone knows. I'm not even sure my dad called his parents to tell them, sorry, grandpa and grandma! Hopefully they know by now. Anyway, so if you are one of my close family members who did not get a call telling you I had a baby, I'm sorry, but don't feel bad, because in this case no one got special treatment from me! I just didn't call anyone, so you can't feel left out! Blame it on the person you found out from because they should have told you sooner!!!! LOL!!!

Pictures!!!

Ragan again! Here are a few of Taliya's pictures from yesterday. There are a few more on my Photo Blog and several of Jaime's maternity pictures are there too. I still need to edit the hospital pics though.

So, as you can see, I had our baby a week ago yesterday! I feel like I have so much to do to catch up, I was hoping to have a little more time to get ready before she came, but I didn't get it. She was measuring 4 weeks small so they decided they needed to get her out! But she was fine 6 lbs 11 oz and 19 inches long! And we did name her! It only took us one day after leaving the hospital to figure it out, so that's not too bad! So are you ready for it! (It's sad, whenever people find out that we are having a baby, the only thing they can wait for..... is for the baby to come so they can see what name we come up with! So here it is: TALIYA!!! (TA-LEE-YA) I had a hard time with it the first couple days, but am loving it now, Dave loved it! That's how it was with our last child too! But it's growing on me and I think it fits!!!!

Ragan came by yesterday and did newborn pictures for me! I am really anxious to see some! Maybe she'll post some on my blog for me again!!!!! (hint)

So life is good! I feel great, other then I am still in a bit of pain, this sixth one is kicking my pants pain-wise, but emotionally I am good! I'll keep you posted more......HOPEFULLY!

She's Here!!!

This is Ragan (Jaime's best friend). I'm hijacking her blog to post a picture of their new little one. For anybody who doesn't already know "she" (as of yesterday afternoon they still didn't have a name picked out for her) was born Tuesday night at 9:50. She weighed 6 lbs 11oz and somehow I missed her length. Jaime will have to fill you in on that. Isn't she beautiful?
